Turnover Tax (VAT) course: average 8.6 from 4 reviews

"Very good."

S. Miltao-Soares - Petrogas E&P Netherlands B.V.10.0

“A good course to take as a refresher or to go into certain basic aspects of VAT in more depth.”

J. van der Westhuyzen - Embers Support B.V.9.2

“I took this course because my knowledge of VAT returns was insufficient. By taking the VAT Returns course I gained more insight into the "how, what, where and why" of completing a VAT return in a particular way. For me this course was definitely of added value!”

M. De Groot - Intemo BV7.6

“Gained a good impression of the VAT rules, which can now also be applied in practice.”

T. Brouwer - Jachtwerf D
Mulder B.V.7.4

"I got a good impression of this VAT course. It is well explained and it helps you on your way to gaining insight into how the accounts payable administration connects to the settlement with the Belastingdienst by the accounting department."

Participant

Frequently asked questions about Turnover Tax (VAT) in-company

Where does the in-company Turnover Tax (VAT) course take place?

Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.

Can the content be tailored to our organisation?

Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.

How large can the group be?

That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.

What does Turnover Tax (VAT) in-company cost?

Who is the Turnover Tax (VAT) course suitable for?

The Turnover Tax (VAT) course is suitable for anyone responsible for a company's VAT return. Think of financial administration staff, accountancy and administration firms, heads of financial administration, tax advisers, SME entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals. No prior knowledge of VAT is required; a basic knowledge of administration or bookkeeping will, however, help you grasp the material more quickly.

Which topics are covered in the Turnover Tax (VAT) course?

The Turnover Tax (VAT) course covers all the VAT topics you need for a correct return. On day 1 you learn about VAT liability, VAT rates, invoicing requirements, international trade within and outside Europe, and the tax control framework. Day 2 focuses on the VAT return itself: deductions, the margin scheme, the small businesses scheme, the reverse charge, the OSS return, checks by the Belastingdienst, penalties and supplementary returns.

Do you need prior knowledge for the Turnover Tax (VAT) course?

No, no specific prior knowledge is required for the Turnover Tax (VAT) course. It is useful, however, to have a basic knowledge of bookkeeping or financial administration, as VAT returns are directly related to this. The classroom course builds up from the basics: what VAT is, when you are liable for VAT and how to complete the return. This makes the course suitable for both beginners and experienced administrators.

Do you receive a certificate after the VAT (Turnover Tax) course?

Yes, on completion of the Turnover Tax (VAT) course you receive a certificate of participation from Learnit. This certificate shows that you have attended the full classroom course and have gained knowledge of VAT liability, rates, returns, schemes, exemptions and supplementary returns. You can use the certificate in your portfolio or show it to your employer as evidence of your professional knowledge of turnover tax.

Can the Turnover Tax (VAT) course also be taken in-company?

Yes, the Turnover Tax (VAT) course can also be taken in-company. You then receive a course tailored to your finance team, geared to the VAT issues within your organisation. The course for classroom participation; for in-company programmes a quote applies based on group size and the content required. Course materials and a certificate of participation are included.

How does this classroom Turnover Tax course differ from self-study using the Belastingdienst's manual?

Self-study via the Belastingdienst website gives you the rules, but not the considerations. In the classroom VAT course you work with a trainer who knows the practice and you can put forward your own cases. You learn not only how the margin scheme, the small businesses scheme (KOR), exemptions and the reverse charge work, but also when they are advantageous for your company. Topics that are difficult to grasp from a manual are also covered. Such as the Tax Control Framework, the OSS return for EU sales and filing a supplementary return. These are covered step by step. You receive direct feedback on your questions, something self-study or a general e-learning does not offer. Suitable if you are responsible for the VAT return and want certainty about your choices.

How do I know whether this Turnover Tax course suits me, or is it more practical to call in a tax adviser?

That depends on how often you deal with VAT issues. This classroom course is intended for people who are themselves responsible for the VAT return: financial administrators, staff at accountancy firms, SME entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals. You will learn to determine for yourself which VAT rate applies, which VAT is deductible, how to file a supplementary return and when schemes such as the KOR or the margin scheme apply. The OSS return for EU sales is also covered. Bringing in a tax adviser makes more sense for one-off, complex transactions (for example a restructuring or international services where the place of supply is unclear). For recurring returns and day-to-day VAT decisions, building up the knowledge yourself through this course is usually cheaper and quicker than seeking external advice every time.

What will I learn in this course that I cannot get from a webinar or YouTube video about VAT?

A webinar or YouTube video usually gives you an overview of the main points: what VAT is, which rates apply and how to file a return. In this classroom course we go deeper and you work with your own cases. You practise with the margin scheme, the small businesses scheme (KOR), reverse-charge schemes and the OSS return for cross-border sales within the EU. You get immediate answers to questions about your specific situation, something a video cannot offer. We also discuss how to file a supplementary return and what to do in the event of a sample audit by the Dutch Tax Administration. The difference therefore lies in applying it to your own practice, current legislation and regulations, and interaction with an experienced trainer and fellow participants.
